These changes are necessary to get the build to work in the preboot environment, and to get reasonable performance: - Remove a double definition of the CHECK_F macro when the zstd library is amalgamated. - Switch ZSTD_copy8() to __builtin_memcpy(), because in the preboot environment on x86 gcc can't inline `memcpy()` otherwise. - Limit the gcc hack in ZSTD_wildcopy() to the broken gcc version. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81388. ZSTD_copy8() and ZSTD_wildcopy() are in the core of the zstd hot loop. So outlining these calls to memcpy(), and having an extra branch are very detrimental to performance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
